My system was 170 earlier today so skipping firerats would be a safe bet since 170>155, right? I know (I think) firerats would give me a bigger data partition by shrinking the cache (and I may go that route in the future), but it shouldn't be needed at this point.

Is that an accurate assessment of my situation? I was able to load ICS, it booted, wifi worked, but no radio. Also, like the others, I could not get into the settings to adjust anything.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jschill31:
Hello,

There is just something we are missing for those (like myself) who have no radio. I don't think it has anything to do with left over dingleberries, I have religiously formatted all partitions throughout over a year's worth of flashing this old dog. What is strange is that I have never had any issue flashing a rom since 2.1? Could there be something different in how the rom is compiled? In reading through some of the dev thread it seams there were some issues with the radio? Also could it be something too easy such as recovery versions, I myself am using one of Dastin's fine 5+ builds.

Cheers

Update Posted: 28-NOV-2011 - Kernel Update

An update has been posted to the OP with an updated kernel. Not a lot of mileage on the kernel yet. Sync'ed with repos late this evening.

I appear to have broken the leds with the update. Will work on it as time permits.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jschill31:
Hello,

Still same outcome...no radio signal, no data. My LED lights up as in the other builds on this new one. The settings seems to have the same tweaks for me as in all, can't select "status" nor make any changes "mobile networks" if you can even get to it. It does seem more responsive for sure. I assume the tweaked settings options simply have to do with the fact that some of us are not getting a signal so the phone can't report data nor allow you to change what is not present.

bummed

edit: The extended power options are a nice addition!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] etstanger:
Same situation for me, this time I can't even get into my Google Account - ticking "sign up" brings me to the settings to turn on wi-fi, but it stalls and the slider option does not stay in the on position.

I should also note that I do notice the speed getting better as well as the reboot options. You're getting there. It's frustrating because I want to tout this ROM to my friends (with newer faster phones) but I can't keep the ROM on there for very long yet. Keep at it :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jeremyhatch10:
With the 28 NOV version, I can not get the WIFI to turn on. I didn't have this issue with the other versions. Just an FYI.

Also having issues mounting USB
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
RADIOTEST version

Can someone who is having radio issues give this a try and report back?

Basically, this just removes the isNetworkSupported check, which was the original software jumper I installed when working radio issues.

TeamICS-4.0.1-29NOV-RADIOTEST.zip
[Hero CDMA Android Development] arehm:
Now all i get is searching for service. Still can't get into mobile networks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bigmoneygrip23:
The new update (NOV28) won't let me turn WIFI on either. Can't really speak to the mobile network b/c the phone i loaded it on isn't activated. However, it says "Searching for Service." With other custom ROMs it still recognized "Sprint" as the network.

The navigation / launcher seem much smoother and more responsive with this version, however.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kyouko:
No difference for me :/

Still getting FCs when I try to go into the mobile networks settings or try going into Testing >Phone Information (*#*#INFO#*#*) to turn on and off the radio - although if I put the phone into airplane mode, I can access the Phone Info page without any problems :confused:

Wifi Update for 28NOV-NEWKERN version

Attached is a replacement wlan.ko for the 28NOV-NEWKERN version. Extract the wlan.ko file in the attached zip and use it to replace the one in /system/lib/modules.

Sorry for the error. I am updating the OP with a corrected version.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Mangani001:
Maybe mine is a little different..My radio seems to work ok, that airplane mode seems to toggle itself on and off. I get searching for signal and then after about ten minutes it will pick up the sprint network then go back to searching for signal..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bigmoneygrip23:
I also have seen the Sprint "signal" intermittently. But, its usually "Searching for service". When I go to settings-> about phone -> status, it thinks for a second or two and kicks me back out to the "about phone" menu.

Radio version 2.42.02.10.29

firerats set to 170

CWM 2.5.0.7

This phone is on an older PRL, though...think its 60671 or so (can't get to the Status menu to see it). This one is my test phone and its not activated, so flashing a Sense ROM and updating PRL wouldn't work anyway.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alex_camacho:
I don't get why so many people have problems with flashing roms. I guess I'm just lucky. My phone has shown Sprint network since the first install.

My Phone: Radio 2.42.02.10.29

PRL: 60681

Current rom : CM 7.1

Android Version: 2.3.7

Current recover. Clockwork 2.5.0.7

No Fire Rats mod

I've flashed ICS a few times, and even made made a backup and restored successful

with no problems, and i haven't had nay real issues with the phone. Only issue (and i know its alpha, so im not complaning) is that Sprint VVM won't work at all. I can install it but not open it at all. Oh and in call i can't hear the other person unless i put the phone on speaker mode. Other than that, and it being slightly slow, I have no complaints at all.

Keep up the great work all!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] arehm:
I have all the same versions as you do and no fire rats too. Odd that I have issues.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] etstanger:
I checked a few other forums and there's a PRL Update 01115 (you read that right). I'm still a few updates behind so I'm going to flash a sense ROM and get the update, come back and flash the updated 28NOV and let you all know if that fixes anything. Wish me luck :)

Jaybob - you could probably update the title of the thread ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
I am on PRL 60671 as well, and my radio/data is working quite well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Done. It was late and I was in a hurry. Been a bit time challenged lately.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hammerfest:
we noticed :D it was nightly updates for 2 days then it stopped :D

not that im complaining.. i was joking...

guess no update for 2.3.x :(, but its kewl... ICS coming soon!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] etstanger:
I was running 60672, in the process of doing the PRL update still. Even if it won't fix the ICS issues, I needed it anyway ;)

And I guess the most recent is 01120...doing it manually since NFX isn't cooperating nicely.

Keyboard Fix

Posted an updated keyboard (LatinIME.apk) that doesn't have the bottom row off-screen in portrait mode. Still some clean up to do, but you can get the link and instructions here.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
Could someone that does have Network and data running please post a logcat of the radio from power to completely booted?? ADB is really simple to setup if you don't already... and you should if your using custom ROM's because simply getting a logcat for the developers really helps out. As in my case here. I need to compare my logcat with a booted one to see what's really going on. JB's works so he can't really be able to look into it anymore than he has. He is also getting me a copy of his but it wouldn't hurt to have some more to look at. I have my own personal build from source but it's no different than what your all using right now except I mine doesn't have network or data either. And mine also has the changes JB made to get his to work so something else is going on that we can't find out. So... IF you have adb already setup use this cmd in adb BEFORE powering on. It'll say waiting for device.

adb logcat -b radio > logcat_radio.txt

After its completely booted hit ctrl+c to stop it. Then look in the platform-tools folder for logcat_radio.txt and PLEASE PM ME 1st, I'll tell you why in the pm before posting it to pastebin

I for one would really appreciate it as I know many of you that don't have service right now would like it fixed also. If you have an deactivated phone it's still ok. It wouldn't say Sprint or whatever. It'd just say searching for service so those of you with deactivated phones could do this also please.

Question for those of you with it WORKING.. dial *#*#4636#*#* and go to phone info. look at GSM service: radio on? or does it say CDMA service: radio on? anything that say CDMA or GSM related??? better yet a screenshot??

Update posted to OP.

Updated kernel to support network stats (Data usage). Modified LatinIME to show entire keyboard. Synced with CM/AOSP repos for current updates/fixes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jurellz:
does anyone know if data works on the newest build, Thanks JB for your efforts .
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jeremyhatch10:
Data is working for me, but I have had it on every build.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ajrty33:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] ajrty33:
it hasn't made a difference before. The CSouth radio is a Sprint radio. MattCrystal is on Sprint without a working radio, too... iirc

makes me wonder though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LostHero:
anyone on here from baton rouge...i have a hero on sprint but i would screw up a wet dream with computers and electronics...ill give ya $10...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jschill31:
Hello,

As in all builds thus far, radio is not getting the command to turn on at least for me. This somehow leaves my phone (and I suspect most) is some hybrid airplane like mode. It is not in actual airplane mode but radio is not active. Jeremyhatch10, are you s-on or s-off? Is there any obvious difference with your Hero? For you to have all builds working leads me to believe that your conditions should be documented and shared with all. We are either missing the obvious or dealing with different equipment which is a possibility. I have been selling electronics for over 20 years and it is very common to have two of the same model have different components. If you would be so kind as to list anything that you feel could be important, carrier, prior rom, recovery version, s-off...whatever.

Jaybob, thanks for everything you do for this community.

Cheers
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
That all matters to the apn's which have been applied at our first attempts to get this going. The problem is libs. Exactly what I haven't found yet but the Galaxy is a GSM phone. Which explains why the Eris boys had no problem with mobile and data. Ours of course as we all know is CDMA. When comparing the Nexus S port they already have JB has the same additions as they do to get CDMA going so this is a deeper problem and harder to find. I've made small changes in my build but to no effect yet. Any small change I make completely shuts off the radio and won't try to connect. I suspect other CDMA phones will also have some problems too as further ICS development continues we may find the solution from another dev from another device.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jeremyhatch10:
Let try to explain this with what limited knowledge I have. I am in no way a developer or programmer, but I might be able to help.

-First the Hero I have is a re-manufactured phone that I received as a replacement around a year ago (if that gives any info about the build or parts).

-I have had it rooted almost the entire time. Up until about a month ago all I really ever did was flash roms and gapps as required. I then started trying to get a better understanding of all the common terms used in these forums. So I tried using firerats. I did get firerats working on a few roms, but inevitably I screwed something up. So about 3 weeks ago I ran most current RUU from the HTC website. While the phone was in the stock state I updated what I could, there was PRL update (60683), the "manditory vvm update". Also the system pushed another update, I believe it was a firmware update (I don't remember the number sorry). Once the phone was completely updated I then rooted with the "Z4mod" app. I also installed the "Rom Manager Free" app, and flashed the most current Clockwork Mod Recovery.

-Once my phone was rooted again I went back to flashing only roms and gapps. I don't remember exactly what order I flashed the roms, or even all the roms I flashed. I have not made any other mods that I know of (overclocking, s-off, firerats, radios, kernels, ect). So unless one of the roms I flashed made a mod that I am unaware of I am basically just rooted.

The only issues I have had with the "Team ICS" builds are:

-Of course the keyboard (up until the 1 DEC version).

-Notification sound (using Handcent as a workaround).

-WIFI not working (only on the 28 NOV version)

I hope this helps everyone, if there any specific settings or info I can provide don't hesitate to ask.

Edit: also I wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, format boot, format system; each 3 times before I flash a new rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ngtshde:
I too have a replacement device that is more than 1 year old. I have been quietly testing pretty much everything that has been released with no issues or with stated expectations. ICS installed and performed with stated expectations. I had to roll back to CM nightly due to the choppy screen transitions in the meantime however. Last install was 11/28. Hope to try latest release this weekend.

Firerats 150 35

S-Off

Installation went well with the 0x?? error for the ROM

Gapps installed fine

Sprint was acquired

WiFi works

Did not test Bluetooth tho (not sure if that is supposed to be working at the moment)

Multiple Market Apps installed fine. (Even tho the ROM screen was choppy, the Apps themselves performed very well between screen transitions - Engadget app for example)

VM playback via Google voice - no sound

Incoming call ring was lower though volume was turned up.

ADB recognized device but I don't think that I was able to get to the Shell.

Hope this helps.

UPDATE: Recovery 5.0.2.7 (I use the Format All or Lights Format All (as applicable) and wipe at least 3 times)

When your hero is powered down, hold down the power and volume-down buttons at the same time. This info will pop up and then it will give you options to go to the Recovery, fastboot, etc.

I don't have either device, but it sounds like ICS/CM9 (alpha, of course) is running quite well on Nexus S 4G and EVO 3D (I think... I know it's up and running fine on the Sensation, thought I read it was on both though) already.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jschill31:
Hello,

Thank you for the insightful response. I think there are two key things outlined. First one being you have a reman'd phone. There is certainly a chance you have something internal that is different. The second is you ran the most current ruu and additional firmware may have been downloaded. Most of us Hero owners have not had Sprint software for well over a year and a half. Not sure if there is anything to that or not? I think most due update their PRL, I am also on the same as you.

Thanks again
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jschill31:
To all,

I just read through everyone's posts and I don't see anything obvious, does anyone else?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] arehm:
Nope. There are people with the exact same versions of everything that I have that work fine, but yet mine won't work. Doesn't make a lot of sense.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cybertimber2007:
My 2c... Everyone should use a RUU, and follow the exact same procedure to getting to a rooted and ready for dev state again.

jschill, since you are the one looking over all the posted info, would you mind being the first to RUU & write up the procedure, and post it with relevant downloads were necessary for everyone to follow?

I think to get the latest radio, you'd have to run the 2.1 RUU, then run PRL, System Updates, and a profile update until it's all set.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jschill31:
Hello,

As far as I know the 2.42.02.10.29 radio is the most current and seems to be what all are using no mater if radio is on or off. If someone knows of a radio that is more current please speak up. I will warn you flashing a radio from a reliable source is pretty safe but also is about the only thing that if goes wrong can brick your device. I for one like Matt do not want to see a bunch of members flashing radios on a regular basis. The radio itself has been around I think for a good year now and can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=853868&highlight=radio There really is no need to RUU unless you want to cover every base. I have never built a rom completely from scratch, keep telling myself to just do it but then I start dinking with something else and before I know it I am pie-eyed and it's 3am. I am how ever pretty good at piecing things together and I think Jaybob is going to have to shed some light on what some of the work-arounds really do? I know they are needed to get around errors but has there been any new fixes that would allow the patches to be removed? There seems to be several things in the settings that just don't want to work on my phone. Could it be lib related at some deep level? I really do wish I could help in areas such as code, I just don't know what I am doing yet...:confused:

Peace

[Hero CDMA Android Development] bigmoneygrip23:
This is weird. I flashed a new recovery (the green lantern 3.0.2.4), wiped everything, re-ran the ICS-DEC01 zip, ICSgapps.zip, and also did the usual firerats setups.

Still doesn't recognize my carrier....but, now everything is in German on my phone. What happened??

EDIT: nevermind, just changed back to English in the "Language & Input" menu. hadn't seen that before.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Mangani001:
When i flash this ROM droid explorer shows my device serial niumber as..01234abcd.. interesting, any significance?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jeremyhatch10:
Does it actually show "01234abcd" or is that what you posted it as for security reasons? I only ask because I have everything working, and mine shows something that seems to be an actual serial number.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Mangani001:
thats what it actually shows... when i flash something else my real serial shows up again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jeremyhatch10:
I am guessing that is some how significant. Here are the screen shots of the status on my device. I have edited out the device specific info for security.

Hope this helps
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ajrty33:
Both of my heros (one in service, one not) show a serial number of 0123456789abcd... and my radio isnt working. Gosh i hope we can figure something out... this is crazy.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bigmoneygrip23:
Same here. No radio here.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
Guys.... Stop. There is NOTHING you can do to MAKE your mobile,data work from the "users" end. So stop trying things. Be patient and I promise you we will figure it out. If it were easy as RUU'ing and updating PRL's etc. wouldn't we be the first ones to tell you to try that and see? Diagnosing a software related issue by resetting hardware isn't going to do anything. The problem is the way ICS is different than what GB was. We use GB as a base for developing ICS which isn't ideal but it's all we have and be lucky we even have that. Some older phones out there don't even have devs supporting their phones anymore so they never got to see the light past Froyo.

Why do some work and others don't? because of the hardware that's used and different parts HTC used to repair parts for the Heroc for Refurb phones. It's why I couldn't flash Wildheroc and SalsaSense awhile back but I got around that. JB's changes that made mobile and data work for him work for those of you who have the same type of hardware. The rest of us have different hardware that interacts differently. I can already see the posts of how "mine isn't a refurbished phone", "mine is and it does work". Doesn't matter. It's deep within the code.

As my old signature once said

Patience is a virtue
